World Christianity and the Reorganization of Disciplines: On the Emerging Dialogue Between Anthropology and Theology

This lecture considers the recent
rise of both the category of “world Christianity” and the anthropology of
Christianity and asks how together they may have created the conditions in
which a new dialogue between anthropology and theology can develop.

Joel Robbins is Sigrid Rausing
Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. He has long
been involved in the development of the anthropology of Christianity, and he
also has interests in the anthropology of ethics, values, and cultural change.
He is the author of the book Becoming
Sinners: Christianity and Moral Torment in a Papua New Guinea Society and
was for many years co-editor of the journal Anthropological
Theory.
